Oregon baseball: Eddie Rodriguez named Pacific-10 Conference player of the week

Oregon senior catcher Eddie Rodriguez was named the Pacific-10 Conference baseball player of the week after batting .667 with two doubles, a triple, two home runs and nine RBI as the No. 22 Ducks went 4-0 against four non-conference opponents in Eugene, the league announced Monday.

Rodrgiuez went 12 for 18 over the four-game stretch and also became the first Oregon player to hit for the cycle since the Ducks reinstated baseball before the start of last season when he went 4 for 6 with a career-high five RBI in Sunday's 17-7 victory over East Tennessee State at PK Park.

In 51 games, Rodriguez is batting .370 (68 for 184) and leads the Ducks in hits (68), home runs (6), and RBI (40).

The Ducks (34-18, 10-11 Pac-10) have another non-conference game scheduled Tuesday against the University of Portland at Portland's Joe Etzel Field and then open a three-game conference series against Washington Friday in Seattle.
